This is what is wrong with computing today. Our old abstractions are breaking apart in exchange for marketing blab. Can we place have a meaningful discussion about the impact of computing and how to fix it in today's society instead?

My wife: yeah but are you seeing this interior facing stone?

There's a through link to the misdirection in Apple's "Think Different" advertising in the mid 80s given that so much of the WIMP interface was stolen from PARC and the stolen credit of so many AI companies to early prototypes.

Go to the source. Find some new prototypes and develop them.

This needs another turn at going viral. I love it so much.

I would not be surprised if there was a massive exodus of scientists from America right now. Funding is drying up on real research problems and there is a threat of rescinding grants already in the pipeline. All while PhD students are being deported. I just don't understand this strategy for America

Butt

I'm seriously concerned about where this country is going.

Traditional companies cascade goals top-down: executives set targets that trickle down layer by layer. But according to John Doerr, this model is broken.

I fear most for the people I love and the thinkers who think differently. Diversity of thought, particularly in AI, shouldn't die off. It's going to take a lot more than a few "alpha chads" at OpenAI to understand what they are really doing.

You should know who benefits form current forms of AI: energy and chips. Anyone promising to replace workers is selling you a plate of sugar.

What scares me the most is that I think business is falling for it so much that they're going to do it anyway.

There aren't really any out there. Ego3D may be the closest you can get at a vision level but you wouldn't be able to go from perception-to-control. You'd need to detect the hands and activities and replace it with the morphology of the robot you'd use. Lots of robot-task datasets.. but no humans.

list of banned keywords

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

What Kind of Los Angeles Will Rise From the Fires? The city faces a choice: remake itself into something largely familiar or take a bolder path and emerge as a new metropolis.

Los Angeles faces a choice, our architecture critic writes. It can remake itself into something largely familiar or take a bolder path and emerge as a new metropolis.

Elon Musk Lackeys Have Taken Over the Office of Personnel Management Sources tell WIRED that the OPM’s top layers of management now include individuals linked to xAI, Neuralink, the Boring Company, and Palantir. One expert found the takeover reminiscent of Stalin.

Is this real? How is this not a bigger story??

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:

1. Create a new $15B science fund

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

I love this take so much 😂😂

DeepSeek is bad for Silicon Valley. But it might be great for you. The DeepSeek saga that’s transforming AI, explained

"Liang said in a July 2024 interview with Chinese tech outlet 36kr that, like OpenAI, his company wants to achieve general artificial intelligence..."

What a pointless, ill-defined, harmful goal. A race to the bottom for this shit.
